this is what the country looked like in 2009, president obama's first full year in office. every state that looks brown out here is a state where they were losing jobs at the time. some of them very badly. look at ohio over here. 10.6% unemployment. gradually over the next few years we saw jobs come on and education and in health care and in business services and retail. and now look where we are today. every state that is lighter in color is where there are either no longer losing jobs or in most cases gaining jobs. ohio, 7.2% employment now. that is better than the national average. the bureau of labor statistics says to make that happen we had to create a lot of jobs. how many? by their count, 4.4 million so far. but here's what's not mentioned much, 4.3 million were lost during the bad days. so the net gain is only about 125,000 jobs. that falls short of the president's claim he created five million jobs. it's just a little bit too much of a stretch. we have to call that claim false. even though many democrats will say in a heartbeat, look, he inherited a bad economy fr

now, it's become very scripted over the years. in 1992 it was the wild west in these town halls, meaning somebody from the audience can ask a question. now they've been prescreened to the point that it is a little bit less open formed than one might think. >> and i'm assuming that the candidates certainly don't know the questions, but the moderator would get a sense of who they're going to go to, what kinds of questions that they're actually be posing there. this is not the best format for everybody. we saw the last go-round with obama and senator john mccain. mccain seemed a little uncomfortable, stiff there in that format, and the president walked around and seemed casual and comfortable making a connection with the audience. how important is that? >> it's everything. i mean, the master of this form is bill clinton. in fact, it was clinton in 1992 that kept saying i want more town hall forms because he can have such a great interpersonal relationship with people. he -- clinton can lock on somebody. he felt like he was talking di

very close to president obama. what kinds of things do you learn being that close to a leader? >> well, you know, i think, like i put together a predator drone missile? like no. obviously you have your job to do. you see things but you don't absorb them. the most valuable thing you learn is the body language of someone. you know, their tells, so to speak. it's useful for me to know president obama so well, because when i'm filming him, i can kind of drift in close up and i know which way he's going to turn and that's sort of useful when making a campaign commercial. but when it comes to intelligence gathering, i think it would be an enormous boone for our experts to talk to someone who knows the body language of someone so intimately. when you look to someone through a lens constantly you learn an enormous amount about how they move and how they think. >> can you imagine sort of the process of this cameraman, and what he went through trying to defect? i mean obviously this is, you know, a choice with a lot of dange

they had started doing that this year, too, in a way that the romney campaign cannot. republicans have criticized romney for spending a lot of time in high-dollar fund-raisers, taking time away from the campaign trail, but he has to do that because he doesn't have the connections with the grassroots that barack obama has had. however, the romney campaign had a fund-raising boost after that debate performance the other night, fred. >> particularly, this kind of money will help in those campaign ads in those swing states, florida being one of them. colorado, ohio, virginia? >> yeah, that's right. and think about this, the romney campaign didn't run television ads during the democratic national convention or the republican national convention. a cardinal rule of politics is when you go on tv, you stay on tv. the romney campaign broke that and it hurt them in the polls heading into that debate. however, as that new yorker cover that's coming out next week sort of captured the zeitgeist, he had a strong debate performance. his campaign says they raised $12 million in the co
